Okay, someone tell me what tomake for dinner tonight....

Honestly, I don't mind cooking at all. I just can't stand trying to figure out WHAT to make. Bleh.

I'm horrible at meal planning. Tonight I have boneless/skinless chicken thighs marinating in teriyaki. I'm going to grill them and we'll have spring rolls and broccoli as sides.

I've done two crockpot meals this week (3 nights worth of dinner) because I didn't feel like cooking. That doesn't help you right now though. I did a panko crusted salmon on Monday that was easy and delicious, I'll send you the recipe if you want.

i don't know if you ever venture over to what's cooking, but every day there's a "WFD" post over there, might give you some ideas!

Sadly I don't do fish.

I'm thinking I might make up something fried-rice-related and throw in random crap. This usually ends in disaster since I'm not that good of a cook, but OH WELL. lol

I will be at work til ~9 tonight so I am having deli ham and a big salad. But I did have chicken wings for lunch since it's Thursday Yes

I know you already said you were making rice, but my suggestion was going to be pasta with chicken, sundried tomatoes, spinach and cheese w a light cream sauce.

Breakfast is always my go to when I don't feel like cooking. Tonight is pancakes, scrabbled eggs and turkey sausage.

Ashlee, thanks for the heads up on the cooking board. I always forget that's there!

And the sundried tomatoe/chicken/spinach pasta sounds AMAZING. As does breakfast.

DH doesn't get home till 8ish tonight after his class.. I'm making the rice now since I've read that it helps if you put freshly-cooked rice in the freezer before stir-frying it. Weeeeeeeeeee'll see!

I hope so! I'm also making fried rice w/ brown rice. I've never made fried rice before and this is only my 2nd time grilling chicken, so we'll see.

how did your fried rice turn out?? I'm just starting my fried rice adventure. This was a dumb idea. I'm too tired for all this. lol

It was okay. I made the instant rice and just left it at room temperature. I scrambled 2 eggs in the wok then set them aside. I put 2 tbs of oil in the wok and added the rice. I stirred it around for about 5 minutes and then added the eggs. I also added some fresh garlic, green onions and soy sauce and kept cooking for about 10 minutes.

Yum! I love making fried rice. I usually put pineapple tidbits, golden raisins, egg and carrots, sometimes cashews. (it's how our favorite thai place makes it, we love it!) If I'm making it as a meal...I'll add whatever leftover meat we have.

I think I must've done something wrong bec mine was nothing like real fried rice. It was still tasty... but it was just like drier-than-normal rice with yummy stuff mixed in. I think maybe you need more oil to really fry it? Idk if I'm willing to make it that much worse for me, so I'll probably stick to my sorta-fried rice. hehe
